Valve may be developing a “Steam Box” powered by SteamOS
The new kernel designed for “AMD Lilac” hints at possible new hardware
The device seems more of a competitor for Nvidia Shield than an upcoming Steam Deck 2.

How much did your laptop cost compared to something like a $199 Shield?
This one cost me about $300 refurbished because I also use it for some light gaming. The one I used prior to this one was $160.
The shield is a bit stronger than light gaming.
No, it isn’t.
You can install emulators on the shield to play classic roms and you can stream games from your PC or the cloud to it. My laptop does both of those things. Plus I can install some modern games like Hades 2, block ads on every video and music streaming service, and be more in control of where my data goes.
I’m pretty sure the only thing the Shield does that my laptop won’t is a.i. upscaling which is not an important feature for me.
Most people, when speaking about a gaming device, aren’t talking about the ability to play things from 40 years ago that you could run on a smart toaster
